Fleck Motor Mount Screw #8-32 x 5/16 (2510) — FL10872

This Fleck motor mount screw, sized #8-32 x 5/16, is a discontinued individual part for the Fleck 2510 control valve from Pentair. It continues to be supplied inside several factory service kits, which keeps the correct fastener available for motor and drive-related repairs. Small as it is, the right mount screw is essential to holding the drive motor in the precise position the valve's timing depends on, so it is well worth sourcing the genuine part through the proper kit.

The motor mount screw secures the timer or drive motor to the valve assembly, holding it in correct alignment so the gear train advances the valve smoothly through each stage of its cycle. When this fastener is loose or missing, the motor can vibrate, become noisy, or fall out of alignment, any of which can disrupt regeneration timing and the overall performance of the softener or filter. A secure, properly seated mount screw keeps the drive train running quietly, smoothly, and accurately through every regeneration.

Completing a Motor Repair

When replacing or remounting a drive motor on a 2510 valve, order one of the listed service kits to obtain this screw alongside the companion parts required for the job. Using the correct genuine hardware, and confirming your valve model before ordering, ensures the motor stays securely mounted and the valve cycles reliably without the vibration or misalignment that loose fasteners can cause. Keeping a few of these inexpensive screws in your service kit is a smart habit, since it prevents a single lost or stripped fastener from holding up an otherwise routine and quick repair. Verifying that the motor seats flush and the bracket is fully tightened after installing the screw helps the gear train mesh quietly and advance the valve smoothly, which is the foundation of accurate, dependable regeneration timing. A properly mounted motor is the quiet foundation of every dependable regeneration, so taking care with this small fastener pays off in years of smooth, accurate cycling.
